Thoune, Thun, Thonne, Thuner Majolika - all the same thing; pottery from
the place previously known as Heimberg in Switzerland. It is pronounced
'toon' as in Roger Rabbit.

It is attractive and highly distinctive intricately slip-decorated earthenware.
The colours used are white, green, yellow, orange and blue, usually on a
dark slip background which is often a deep, rich brown.

Many companies made Thoune pottery, mostly small concerns. A couple of
dozen are still operating. The most sought-after artist potter is Johann
Wanzenried, who was active in the nineteenth century.
